5.0 out of 5 stars Yulestride -- a Tenstrike!, December 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Yulestride (Audio CD)

Probably my all-time favorite Christmas album. A wonderful collection of traditional hymns and carols played by a piano soloist extraordinaire. Picture yourself sipping your favorite libation on a cold winter's night by a warm fire, in the company of a great piano player who's treating you to your all time favorites. The sound isn't "hard" jazz or new age; the lighter, "fun" carols, like Jingle Bells, have a playful, upbeat bounce; the older, more religious hymns (Silent Night, etc.) are played with reverence and sensitivity that would warm the Pope's heart. Great listening on its own or as background.

This is such a lively and fun holiday CD. Since it's just piano, it also (to me) sounds refreshingly crisp and clear after some of the over-produced holiday music. Great party background but also fun to just sit and listen to.

I first heard a piece from this CD on a classical radio station about 15 years ago and I've been looking for the CD since then. I'm thrilled to able to finally add this to my Christmas music collection. The style is a bit off the norm for Christmas music, so if you don't like stride piano you probably won't like this CD; but if you do like it, this is perfect! Very sensitive renditions of classic pieces.
